Trigger Holdoff
You can use the Trigger Holdoff function to produce a stable display of
complex waveforms. Holdoff is time between when the oscilloscope
detects one trigger and when it is ready to detect another. The
oscilloscope will not trigger during the holdoff time. For a pulse train, you
can adjust the holdoff time so the oscilloscope triggers only on the first
pulse in the train.
